1630 (cont) looked for some small pit fall traps. We
found 19 and put them in the ground right
side up. They are small fruit juice cans with
about a 2" or 2 1/4" diameter opening. We
then returned to camp to eat. (1930)
1930 Steve, Dr. Lintelho and I took the flow net
traps to catch and band Baird's Sandpipers.
We tried several nests, and managed to
catch 3 birds. These were banded and color
banded and then released. The wind was
very cold and we all got chilled. We came in
at 2200 for the day. Steve made up a
list for each Baird, and we are to note time and
when we see them whenever we go into the
drum area. Forgot to mention, as we come from
the second nest banded to the third - which I
discovered - (Bairds nest #8 on the map) - we
came on a golden flower nest. The eggs were
large in relation to the size of the birds. I'm
going to try to get a good picture of this find or
or near the nest.

to trap lines 3 A and B - which had nothing in

installation. I found one D snow bunting
in a trap at station 8:4 and that was all
